Hello!
I'm working on a project requiring fast query like 'does ADDRESS belongs
to SET OF NETWORKS?'. Naturally, such a query is better implemented
using PATRICIA, but building PATRICIA tree is a relatively long task and
is better to be done once, for instance, at server startup.
I'm thinking of implementing such a tree using stored procedures, and
looking for advise from postgresql-hackers: how can I hook startup of
server?
Idea of having something like a blob to store and restore PATRICIA tree
may be better suited to standard SQL, but I'm looking for more elegant
solution. Or am I totally wrong?
Alex.
